Bordeaux Futures

Only 50% Deposit. No Minimum Orders.

The 2017 Bordeaux Futures campaign has begun! En Primeur has passed and many critics have released their scores. Despite initial worries about the vintage, many chateaux have received rave reviews and fantastic scores from critics all around. The biggest obstacle this year will be quantity. With frost affecting many vineyards that are lower in elevation, some chateaux experienced drastic losses in yields.

This year, we are going to do things a little differently in our email communication. While we will update this page daily as new wines are released, a recap email of the newest releases will be sent out 1 to 2 times a week. As quantities are significantly lower than previous vintages, time is of the essence this year.

So that you can secure your order for many of the 2017 releases, keep an eye out for our offers and bookmark this page and check back frequently for updates. We want to thank you for your patronage and support over the years and we’re excited to offer the 2017 Bordeaux Futures releases with you - let the games begin!

*This offer is made pre-arrival, with wines estimated to be delivered to your preferred store in 2020, depending on the release by the chateau. To secure your order, a 50% payment made by credit card is required.

Bordeaux Futures may not be combined with Concierge Offers due to disparities in delivery dates and payment terms between the two different types of transactions. Please complete your purchase before shopping our Bordeaux Futures.

2017 Ausone

Blended of 55% Cabernet Franc and 45% Merlot, the deep garnet-purple colored 2017 Ausone offers up slowly emerging notes of crushed black plums, blackberries and mulberries with nuances of anise, violets, new leather and unsmoked cigars plus suggestions of black olives and truffles and a touch of cast iron pan. Medium to full-bodied with firm, very finely grained, super ripe tannins and an uplifting backbone of freshness perfectly supporting the profoundly layered, tightly wound yet incredibly intense fruit, it finishes very long with mineral accents and compelling tension.

This is a dense and compact center palate with a solid and pointed intensity. Full body, firm and silky tannins and an energetic finish. Complete. Harmonious.

This is tight and very tannic with a linear and steely backbone of texture. Full-bodied, compacted and complete. Muscular and flexing it but polished and toned. Wow. There is 6% cabernet sauvignon in the blend, which may be giving this even more strength. Very, very long. Very Left Bank in terms of the power and depth.

Tempting ripe fruit, juicy with black currants and intense acidity keeps this wine fresh but well structured. It is a delicious wine already with fine fruitiness and a layer of tannins at the back.

There was no frost here. Composed of 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc, the deep garnet-purple colored 2017 La Mondotte simply sings of gorgeous ripe blackberries, mulberries and black raspberries with touches of sandalwood, lavender, licorice and rose hips plus wafts of garrigue and exotic spices. The palate is medium to full-bodied, rich and concentrated with firm, very silky tannins and layer upon layer of black fruits and spices, finishing very long and beautifully perfumed.

This is a generous, opulent wine with ripe blackberry and hints of spice notes sustained by rich tannins. Juicy and packed with tannins, this will be ready to drink young, but will also age over many years.

Composed of 56.2% Sauvignon Blanc and 43.8% Sémillon, the 2017 Blanc from Haut-Brion is a little more reticent on the nose than the La Mission Haut-Brion Blanc, offering up subtle pink grapefruit, green mango and ripe pears scents with an undercurrent of baking bread, ginger and allspice plus a waft of lemon peel. The palate is medium-bodied with wonderfully generous tropical and citrus flavors accented by loads of spices, finishing long and savory.
